# Plan Facebook ads with AI and cap the spend

## When to use

Small businesses who want Facebook ads to work but do not want a bot spending money on its own.

## Steps

1. Set an account spending limit in Ads Manager first. Meta says you set your ad account spending limit, and ads pause when it is reached.
2. Paste 10 real reviews or customer messages into the prompt below to get 3 angles in your customers' words.
3. Pick 2 angles and launch them yourself as a small test.
4. After 7 days, paste the Ads Manager results into the same chat and ask what to keep, cut or change.
5. Make changes yourself. Do not give an agent your ad account login.
6. Keep a one-line log per week: angle, spend, result.

## Prompt

Fill the [BRACKETED] parts with the user, then follow this prompt:

```
Help me plan a small Facebook ad test. Use only what I paste.

What I sell and to whom: [DESCRIPTION]
Real customer reviews or messages: [PASTE 10]
Weekly budget I set: [AMOUNT]

1. 3 ad angles, each built on words customers actually used (quote them)
2. For each: primary text under 125 characters, a headline under 40, and an image idea
3. A 7-day test plan for 2 angles
No claims about results, prices or guarantees I did not give you.
```

## Guardrails

- Draft first and show the user. Never send, post, pay, book, cancel or delete without the user's explicit approval of that exact action.
- Use only facts the user gives you or that you can cite. If something is missing, ask instead of guessing.

## Common snags

- Giving a bot the ad account login.
- No spending limit set before launch.
- Copy that promises results you cannot back up.
